The FK11 Fiber Optic Cleaver employs an ultrasonic cleaving technology to produce flat, defect-free fiber end-faces. The standard FK11 is designed for cleaving standard telecom fibers in preparation for fusion splicing and fiber testing. Variants of the FK11 include the FK11-LDF for larger cladding diameter fibers, the FK11-SDF and FK11-USDF for small diameter fibers and the FK11-C for cleaving through the fiber coating. Additionally modified versions of the FK11 designed to work with most common fusion splicers/fiber holders are available upon request.
